@mmu_man I missed your stream because I was getting ready for mine!

a (human) friend texted me this link with the question “is this real?” and maybe I’ve been in the mountains for too long but it can’t possibly be real, right? Like as a critique or a satire it’s both incisive and clever, but as an earnest attempt at a product it’s just… deeply unhinged?
“When will I receive my friend?”
“Pre-orders will start shipping Q1 2025.”
Questions frequently asked by the utterly deranged. https://www.friend.com/product.html
Yellow: Temperature (digital sensor)
Green: Battery Voltage (in ADC) Steps
Blue: Open Voltage Divider (in ADC) Steps
FeatherS3 (ESP32) with custom sensor Wing in a box, in my garden
As the temperature peaks, looks like the ADC (or its ref) is drifting.
Data is cool
I don't normally write or promote Kickstarter projects. However, since this is Particle and they have a proven track record of using crowdfunding successfully, I am comfortable sharing this one.
**Also**, I want one. It's like a mid-range smartphone on a Pi board for $149.
@48kRAM Sometimes, after a boring day of grown-up activities, I eat ice cream (for dinner) and play video games.
Because, when I was a kid, I said I would do that when I grew up.
@mmu_man I lurked your stream the other day. How is that work going?
Thur 7/25 Livestream: Soldering some Banana Plug Adapters for power supplies. Adapt USB, JST PH, Barrel Jack, and Screw Terminals to test equipment. Come say Hi! https://youtube.com/live/DKOYQZEC8t4
@foone Is that better or worse than just stealing a sock?
Fun fact: the PicoScope 2000A was one of my first live streams (many years ago!) Here, I checked out PicoScope 7 because I needed an I3C decoder.

To celebrate my Maker Skill Trees Repository now having over 50 templates, I've now launched a Bug Finder program. If you find something that could be improved, I'd love to send you a holographic contributor sticker in the mail to say thanks. Plus, we now have an Amateur Radio Skill Tree! Just colour in the boxes and get an idea of your current skills and how to level up. Full Open Source Repository here:

This eZ80 CPU module may not be viable for all 8-bit Z80 computers, but it is a great option for many, including computers designed for the RC2014 bus.
